Coire Bhotrais Untouched by the December sun, this steep north-facing coire on Beinn Bhan remains a cold and forbidding place throughout the short winter day.

Scots Pine in Glen Mallie A welcome change from larch and sitka, there are still acres of Scots pine in the glen.  It's nice to be able to categorise the picture under "Trees" rather than "Forestry".  Closer inspection, however, shows 20 dead for every live example, and few obvious young trees.

The track is not that shown on the current OS maps; the track on the map lies between the new forestry track and the river, and is an altogether less brutal (if somewhat boggier) approach to the glen.

Coire Dubh, Beinn Bhan One of two huge corries on the north side of Beinn Bhan. Coire Dubh lies directly beneath the summit. This was taken on a mild day after a period of heavy snowfall and there is evidence of a large avalanche in the centre of the corrie.
